Your True Growth



Your True Growth
Post on August 4, 2026


What will be your response today? Over the next few days, weeks and months, there will be situations presenting themselves that may test your abilities to the fullest. It may be something small and seemingly insignificant or a huge life change. The most important thing to remember is to breathe, take a step back and think about your reaction.

Will it be in line with and appropriate to the situation at hand or will it be off the hook?

Will you be honest with yourself and others or will you skirt the issue?

Regardless of what it is, you always have a choice. The measurement of your true growth is having the response be in line with your abilities. Think about it and know The Universe is with you.

THE NEED FOR GROUNDING AND BALANCE



THE NEED FOR GROUNDING AND BALANCE

Inspiration

By Kate Spreckley

July 8, 2026


Life seems to demand more of us this week, bringing a certain density to our experiences, as we are called to act with more maturity and responsibility, seeking balance between the needs of our inner and outer worlds. We are invited to assume a deeper state of personal sovereignty, in which we reclaim our power from external sources and become the authors and ultimate authority of our own lives. When we lack sovereignty, we are at the mercy of the environment; we react impulsively instead of responding consciously, allowing external events to dictate our inner state.

Personal sovereignty requires us to honestly look at old narratives and discard what no longer aligns with who we truly are. It requires us to stop seeking external validation and begin to trust our own intuition as our ultimate guide. It means choosing to let go of the role of victim of circumstances and taking full responsibility for our choices, our healing, and our happiness. While we cannot control what happens around us, we are entirely responsible for how we choose to deal with it. As you begin today, the energy imposes a noticeable shift in rhythm. 

The intense and impetuous urgency you may have been carrying is giving way to a much deeper need for grounding and balance. This is a conscious transition: moving away from the relentless pursuit of external achievements and turning towards inner stability. The energy invites you to anchor yourself firmly in the present, even as the world around you faces unexpected friction. 

Remember that unpredictability is often the space where growth, opportunities, and new possibilities reside. Honestly observe where you still cling to old stories or try to control things that are naturally changing, and consciously transition from fear to curiosity. Remember that you don't need to fix, change, or control the chaos around you to feel safe. Your power lies entirely in your ability to remain centered in your own truth. Take a deep breath, occupy your space, and trust that you are fully capable of handling whatever happens.

Much love, Kate

Kate

At The Plateau




At The Plateau
Post on June 26 2026


Breathe a sigh of relief, dear one! You have reached the peak of the current energy influx. The climb was a challenging one, full of surprises and changes you were not expecting but, you made it through relatively unscathed. Congratulations! 

Allow yourself a pat on the back and a look around at the plateau on which you are standing. There are many places to explore where you are, lots of paths to take and many decisions to make. 

You are more than welcome to stay where you are for a moment or you can continue your upward path. 

The choice is always yours.

How to Follow the News Without Getting Overly Upset


How to Follow the News Without Getting Overly Upset

By Leo Babauta

Post on February 7, 2026


Lots of people these days are feeling upset, distracted, exhausted by the news. It’s the state our world is in, and it’s not easy to deal with.

But not following the news doesn’t feel like a good option. I did that for a few years — I just wouldn’t read or watch the news, except once every month or two, when I’d try to catch up. For most people, that doesn’t seem responsible.

I feel lucky in that I’m now able to follow the news but stay relatively grounded. I get upset by things, of course, and I’m not happy with the state of our world. But it doesn’t throw me into a spin or drain me excessively. I’m able to focus, on most days (though I’m far from unaffected).

So how do you manage that balance, between being able to follow the news and not getting so upset you can’t function during the day?

I’m going to share how I do it, but first I’ll share a couple of mindset shifts that can be helpful.

First, the Mindset Shifts

There are two mindset changes that have helped me a lot. The first was taught to me by Pema Chodron, one of our best living Buddhist teachers. The second, by the Stoics and Zen alike.

1: Let the news connect you to humanity. When I see some terrible news, instead of letting it make me think of how terrible things are (a valid way to look at it) … I let it be a moment of practicing compassion for others.

Pema, in her book “Welcoming the Unwelcome,” talks about how falling into gloom and anxiety when we read the news can lead to a defeativist attitude.

“Why try to do anything to improve the future if it’s hopeless anyway? But according to the teachings on karma, the future is unwritten. What we do now does matter, not just to ourselves but to everyone who is part of this interconnection that we call Mother Earth. Even smiling at someone once can have tremendous ripple effect that goes out and out- who knows how far? If this is the case, then think of how much we can affect the world by enthusiastically training in opening our hearts and minds, day after day.” — Pema Chodron, “Welcoming the Unwelcome”

So this is how I practice. If there’s a shooting, or a war, or people losing their jobs … I let my heart open for a minute to feel for the people affected. I feel a little heartbreak. I send them a compassionate wish. I might feel some anger sometimes, and let myself feel that, but I don’t focus on hatred or judgment. I focus on the hearts of the people involved, and opening my heart to them. I think this matters.

2: Focus on what you can control. A lot of the times, news can be stressful because we feel powerless. It helps to remember the idea that we can’t control everything — but we can choose to focus on what we control.

So I like to focus on the things I can do something about. It could be writing to a legislator, or signing a petition, or supporting a non-profit organization that’s helping, or spreading important information, or just educating myself about an issue so I’m less ignorant, or connecting with people. I don’t do it every day, to be clear, but I ask myself, “What can I do about this?” If nothing, I focus on something else in my life that is more actionable.

Now, a Method for Following the News

With those in mind, here’s what I do to follow the news in a grounded way:

  1. Find balanced sources. I pick a couple sources that feel balanced, that aren’t ill-informed or screaming like the world is going to end. Then I focus on just following those on a (mostly) daily basis, while exploring wider sources beyond that. For me, that’s the New York Times and Vox. I subscribe to both. You might not agree, and that’s fine — pick ones that work for you. On a weekly (or so) basis, I also look at more international sources, and magazines that take deeper looks at things, or that have more alternative perspectives, just for some balance.
  2. Set limits. I look at my daily news sources about twice a day, just for about minutes. I know I could be more informed, but that feels about right for me. The rest of the time, I allow myself to be in a crazy-free zone.
  3. Breathe & connect. When I read the sources, I’m just trying to get an idea of what’s happening, and sometimes a bit of the why. That might mean I don’t read too deeply most of the time. As I scroll down, I breathe. I feel for the humans who are affected, and connect to them with an open heart.
  4. Ask myself: what can I control here? Is there an action I can take to help in some way? If so, I might make a note of it so I can take action or at least reflect on that action. If not, I just am more informed, and that can be enough.
  5. Sometimes, go deeper. When an issue is important enough, I’ll read pieces that go into it more deeply. I don’t have time for that most days, but when I do, I am aiming for understanding.
  6. Let go. When I’m done with one of my sessions of perusing the news, I breathe and let go of anything I’m holding onto. Maybe I’m a bit upset or pained — that’s allowed! I process the emotion for a moment or two, then take on the next thing in my day by being fully present with that. Sometimes it takes a bit of a walk around to settle myself, or a short meditation. But I try not to carry it all with me into everything I’m doing.

This all takes practice! It doesn’t come naturally to me. But for me, it’s important not only to stay informed, and to feel for people and care about what’s going on … but it’s also important to be able to be resourced and able to take on what’s important to me and within my control.

I hope this helps! My wish is for you to have peace in your life.

with love,

Stand in Your Power

Stand in Your Power

Love Notes

By Brynne E. Dippell, Ph.D.

Post on September 23, 2025



Hello;

I asked Spirit what you most needed to hear today, and this is what I heard:

“Stand in your power.”

The energies around us are intense and swirling right now. Spirit is asking you to hold your ground, hold your center, and bring your vision back and back and back to that which is in the highest good.

Take a moment now, if you will, and breathe into your body. Feel your body as the living, breathing entity that it is, and give it your cherished attention.

Then, take a deep breath in again. Breathe air and light from the top of your head all the way down to your toes and ground into yourself. Breathe in again, feel the energy move through your feet into the earth, and know that you are steady, solid, stable.

Next, breathe into your heart and feel the beautiful white light that is your essence energy. Allow this energy to gather in your heart, and then move all the way up through your body, out your crown, and into the heart of the Universe

Take a moment to breathe in again.

Feel yourself connected to all that is good and pure and whole and beautiful. Take two breaths here, and remember this is the truth. This is your home. Feel the underlying peacefulness that infuses the Universe flowing down into your body now.

Take one minute and allow yourself to feel this now. Just breathing in and breathing out. Let yourself settle.

Now, bring your attention to your third eye – the spot between your eyebrows - and see or feel or know there is a beautiful light contained there. Allow a burst of light to come out of your third eye and project into the space before you. With this burst of light imagine the highest potential for every aspect of your life – where you live, how you feel, your mission work in the world, the beauty of the relationships around you, the sacredness of your family, the sweetness of your animal companions, and your connection to the Natural Kingdom. Breathe in, breathe out, and imagine the highest potential now.

Send another pulsation of your essence energy out into the world to activate again that which you most desire. All possibilities lie in your energy, and we are harnessing your highest capacity now. Breathe in, breathe out, and pulse the energy out.

Breathe into your body one more time, again feeling yourself grounding into yourself, and then breathing out and pulsing out. You have now sent three very clear messages to the Universe of the highest frequency of light about that which you would like to activate in your life.

And now, Spirit says, “You may rest.”

Take a deep breath in, followed by a gentle sighing breath out. Know that you have activated your highest potential today.

Sending so much love to you.

Brynne

Now that the most recent wave has moved through you, it is time to look to better things. Changes, both small and large, should be expected! Near fear, darling one, these things are always for the highest good. 

However, if you have been ignoring or putting off a change after several reminders, the actual change itself might not be as gentle as you would like. 

Breathe in, breathe out and know there is work to be done… and, you are the most capable to achieving it!

Hold On and Breathe

Hold On and Breathe

By Patricia Cota-Robles

Posted on June 3, 2025





The Divine Intervention the masses of Humanity received from Saint Germain and Mother Mary throughout the entire month of May, helped to prepare every particle and wave of Life on Earth for the incredible increase of Light we will be blessed with during June and the June Solstice in 2025.

With the permission of every person’s I AM Presence, Saint Germain and his 5th-Dimensional Violet Flame Archangels blazed the most intensified frequencies of the 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection through the Air Element and the entire Breathing apparatus of every person. This Gift from On High recalibrated every person’s Breathing apparatus to receive a higher frequency of Prana and Life Force than we have ever been able to Breathe on our Holy Breath.

Mother Mary’s Gift of Divine Intervention during the Mystical Month of May involved assisting every person’s I AM Presence with activating to a higher level the dormant Twelve 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Strands of DNA associated with reaching our full Divine Potential as Children of God.

This means that quite literally we are all in a better position to not only Breathe higher frequencies of Prana and Life Force with every Breath we take, we are able to Breathe more of the purifying substance of God’s Pure Source Oxygen.

Now, as Humanity en masse Breathes God’s Pure Source Oxygen with every Breath we take, we are being assured by the Company of Heaven that the Air Element that Humanity has tragically polluted with every conceivable form of toxin will be cleansed and Transmuted back into its original pristine essence.

To help us comprehend just how important that is in our Ascension process, we are being asked to share the following information.

Once again, the Company of Heaven is reiterating to us that we are in the final stages of the greatest shift of Consciousness ever to occur in the history of time. This shift is lifting ALL of Humanity, the Elemental Kingdom and Mother Earth into a new level of awareness that will soon result in Transfiguring this sweet Earth into a Heart-based Planet of Love, Oneness, Peace, Abundance and Joy.

This level of Consciousness, which is known through ALL Creation as Christ Consciousness, is reuniting us with our I AM Presence and Healing our self-inflicted separation from our Father-Mother God. The Beings of Light said this frequency of Christ Consciousness is actually “The very Essence of our Oneness with our Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent Father-Mother God, the Cosmic I AM, All That Is.”

Once this unprecedented shift into Christ Consciousness has been fully integrated into the conscious minds and emotional feeling worlds of Humanity, every soul will realize we can no longer rely on our mental perceptions or our logical thinking alone. Each person will clearly understand that we must now reach into the Wisdom of our Hearts and tap into the full Divine Potential that holds the vision of who we truly are and why we are on Earth during this Cosmic Moment of Earth’s Ascension into the 5th-Dimension.

The speed with which this unfolding shift into Unity Consciousness is occurring is a unique experiment that has never been attempted in any System of Worlds. Because of that fact, we are receiving more assistance from the whole of Creation than has ever been bestowed upon a single Planet. At this time, there are literally Legions of Light from Suns beyond Suns and Galaxies beyond Galaxies focusing their Light and Love on Mother Earth. Every Light Being in the Universe is pulling for us and assisting us the maximum that Cosmic Law will allow.

The Beings of Light said that when we complete the God Victorious accomplishment of this experiment, we will have actually Cocreated a new Octave of Godhood. This will expand the Light in every facet of Life in the Body of our Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent Father-Mother God.

At this very moment, the most powerful assistance being given to Humanity is the perfectly balanced and elevated Holy Breath of our Father-Mother God. Our Breath is our direct connection to our God Parents, the Source of All That Is. It is our Life Force, our Prana. We take our first Breath at Birth and our last Breath when we go through the process we refer to as death. With every miraculous Holy Breath we take we are Breathing in the most powerful frequency of our Mother God’s Comprehensive Divine Love and our Father God’s Divine Will and Power that we are capable of assimilating.

With every Breath we take, the Comprehensive Divine Love of our Mother God and the Divine Will and Power of our Father God permeates our cells, organs, glands, muscles, and the electrons, atoms and subatomic particles and waves in our physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies.

This Holy Breath is Creating an environment in which our I AM Presence is being quickened and exalted to take full dominion of our Earthly Bodies. As this occurs, the Divine Alchemy that is Transfiguring our Earthly Bodies from carbon-based cells into 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light Cells is being greatly accelerated. This is an individual process that is taking place within each person according to our ability to assimilate and integrate these unprecedented frequencies of God’s Light.

Now, encoded within every newly balanced and elevated Holy Breath we take there is a Divine Intelligence that is capable of discerning and revealing to each of us the experiences, beliefs, attitudes, fears, thoughts, feelings, words and actions we are utilizing to support obsolete belief systems that conflict with the Truth of our Oneness with ALL Life. This Divine Intelligence is exposing the illusion of our separation from God and any of our beliefs or actions that reflect a lack of Reverence for ALL Life.

As the Divine Intelligence within the Holy Breath of our Father-Mother God registers in our conscious mind we begin to truly know that every Human Being is Divine, regardless of how far their behavior patterns and life experiences may be from reflecting that Truth. This is a vitally important realization in Humanity’s Healing process. Our thoughts and feelings are Creative, and whatever we focus our attention on we empower and bring into form.

If we are constantly thinking and talking about the negative behavior patterns people are participating in, or the things we don’t like about the people themselves, we simply add our energy and power to the very things we dislike. This is true whether we are talking about our Loved Ones, our friends and coworkers, our associates and acquaintances or our governmental officials and world leaders. Actually, the more powerful and influential a person is the more crucial it is for us to empower their Divine Potential by focusing on their I AM Presence instead of the mistakes they are making.

We can empower and energize every soul’s Divine Potential by focusing our attention on the Divinity pulsating in their Heart Flame and by asking their I AM Presence to take control of their thoughts, words, actions and feelings. Every person’s I AM Presence will guide them to respond and behave in ways that reflect only the highest good for all concerned. Any behavior that does not reflect the highest good for all concerned is coming from the person’s fragmented and fear-based fallen human ego.

We can now empower a person’s Divine Potential even further by asking their I AM Presence to expand the Divine Intelligence within the balanced and elevated Masculine and Feminine Holy Breath of our Father-Mother God that EVERY PERSON HAS ACCESS TO NOW WITH EVERY BREATH WE TAKE.

Dear One, please focus on the Sacred Knowledge the Company of Heaven has shared with us today. Respond according to your Heart’s Call by empowering the I AM Presence within every person in the Family of Humanity with your attention and your Divine Intentions.

God Bless You,

Patricia Cota-Robles

    Learning to React With Grace: A Lesson in Fluidity

    Learning to React With Grace:

    A Lesson in Fluidity

    By Malorie MacKey

    Posted on May 29, 2025




    For someone like me, someone who has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), it can be very difficult to learn the lesson of fluidity. “Going with the flow” takes real skills, and not everyone can easily sit back and watch life happen around them without trying to control it. Regardless, living takes a balance, and while it is important to get involved and take the reins of your own life from time to time, there are also times you must listen to the universe, trust that everything that is supposed to come to you will come to you, and gracefully and fluidly “go with the flow.”

    This lesson was eloquently presented to me during my Exploration 27 program at Robert’s Mountain Retreat, and I’d love to share that story with you in hopes that it may help you in the same way it helped me.

    It was mid-way through my week in X27, and I was relaxed, reaching deeper into more expanded states of consciousness than I had visited in quite some time. I was, thankfully, in a good headspace. Shortly after my return home, I would be leaving again to go to Mexico for a press trip. I had put in a bunch of time preparing for this trip. I also had decided not to go to the out-of-town premiere of the movie I just produced, as it conflicted with the press trip.

    I did something I probably shouldn’t have done. I checked my phone, immediately inviting the stressors of the world back into my life.

    As I sat during my break on this particular day during X27, I did something I probably shouldn’t have done. I checked my phone, immediately inviting the stressors of the world back into my life. As I pulled up my email, I saw a notice from my agency contact canceling me from the press trip due to an increase in COVID cases. I was devastated. I had spent so much time prepping for this trip and, as someone with OCD, I have a really hard time accepting when plans change at the last minute. Plus, I had blown off my premiere for this trip.

    Why was I so upset? Did my stress really come from my plans abruptly changing? … I decided to breathe, accept the change, and gracefully go with the flow…

    Suddenly, I disrupted my process and began getting upset. In an attempt to fix the premiere issue, I quickly and efficiently booked my flight to the premiere to ensure I would, at least, be able to do that since the press trip had been canceled. Then, I tried to analyze why I was getting so upset. I have been to Mexico many times before. It’s not like I wouldn’t go again. Why was I so upset? Did my stress really come from my plans abruptly changing? I decided to breathe, accept the change, and gracefully go with the flow as much as I could. It’s not like I could change the situation by reacting poorly to it. After a bit, I calmed myself down and got back into the depths of the program.

    Everything happens for a reason. The universe does, to some extent, have a plan for us.

    The next day, it all came together as I got an email saying, “Never mind. I got you ladies in!” I asked if they could accommodate bringing me in a day late so I could make my premiere now, since I booked the flight. They were happy to. Suddenly, it all made sense. Everything happens for a reason. The universe does, to some extent, have a plan for us. It must be fated for me to attend this premiere, as I never would have if I hadn’t been canceled for that day. Now, suddenly, I was able to fit everything into my schedule with ease.

    Be responsive to the universe’s signs. If you are fluid and react with grace to the world around you, it is likely everything will work out the way it should.

    Clearly, everything happens for a reason. Be responsive to the universe’s signs. If you are fluid and react with grace to the world around you, it is likely everything will work out the way it should. Doors close sometimes because they were not meant for you. And the ones that open next could be even more beneficial for you at this given time.

    I was reminded, fluidity and flow are very important in life. Keep this in mind, the next time you receive bad news and maybe you will see it differently; perhaps even as an opportunity!

    Let's Jump Timelines

    Let's Jump Timelines

    Love Notes

    By Brynne E. Dippell, Ph.D.

    Posted on April 29, 2025



    In our last Love Note (see it here), we talked about how to stay open-hearted in these ever-changing times. This week, let’s talk about going beyond…

    Let’s jump timelines.  :)

    Spirit says we have multiple potential timelines - that is, multiple potential futures - that we can choose from in every given moment. We designed the major events and relationships that we wished to experience in this lifetime before we came here. However, we can affect the timing and the pacing of when these events unfold. Today, I would like to invite you to reflect on the issues that are most on your mind now. Then, we’re going to take these one step higher.

    First, breathe into your body, and see how you feel right now. We always want to start out by paying attention to the body. How does it feel?

    Next, what does your heart desire? Is it a new job, a new home, more ease with your romantic partner? Would you like to be more fully living your soul's divine purpose?

    What does your heart desire today?

    When you have decided which area - or areas - of your life you would like to upgrade, I want you to imagine you have moved to the timeline or potential future where those outcomes have already taken place. For example, feel how your relationship with your partner is smooth and fulfilling... Imagine you are doing the work of your dreams... Feel the sanctuary space of your ideal home…

    Whatever it is for you, imagine that you are living in the timeline where that reality is already true. Then, notice how you feel. You may feel instantly lighter or freer or as if something just seems a little bit different.

    Welcome to your new timeline. :)

    Now breathe in, breathe out, and know that it is so.

    I encourage you to try jumping timelines for the areas that are most on your mind now. Imagine what the highest outcome would be. And then set the intention that you are in that timeline. That’s it. :)

    Let me know how it goes. I look forward to meeting with you in our new higher, finer reality.

    Much love,

    Brynne

    There will be times when you will be invited to jump into the fray and participate in the drama going on around you. It can be very tempting to respond with a knee jerk reaction toward anger or disgust being thrown at you. 

    Again, this is where your free will and choice come into play. Do you participate or do you sit it out? In those tense moments, breathe, take a step back and ask yourself if it is something in which you truly wish to engage. 

    Would you be responding with judgement? Would you be forcing your views on another? Would your participation help clear the air or make it murkier? Take some time and listen to your heart… the truest and most equitable solution will always be there.
